POCATELLO, Idaho – The Idaho State soccer team enters the final weekend of regular-season play with a single game at Idaho Friday, Oct. 28 at 4 p.m. MST at Guy Wicks Field in Moscow, Idaho. The Bengals, who were picked to finish last in the Big Sky this season, currently sit alone in seventh place with a chance to advance to the Big Sky Conference Tournament.
In order to advance to post-season play, the Bengals must win at league-leading Idaho on Friday and hope for a Northern Colorado loss or tie. An Idaho State win and a Portland State tie may also grant the Bengals a tournament berth, depending on the conference standings following Friday's play.
